Chapter 18 Basic statistics
252
Optionally, other columns providing information on volume of data transmitted in indi-
vidual time periods in both directions can be displayed. Direction of data transmission
is related to the interface (the IN direction stands for data received by the interface,
while OUT represents data sent from the interface).
Example: The WinRoute host connects to the Internet through the Public interface and
the local network is connected to the LAN interface. A local user downloads 10 MB of
data from the Internet. This data will be counted as follows:
• IN at the Public interface is counted as an IN item (data from the Internet was received
through this interface),
• at the LAN interface as OUT (data was sent to the local network through this inter-
face).
Note: Interface statistics are saved into the stats.cfg configuration file in the
WinRoute’s installation directory. This implies that they are not reset when the WinRoute
Firewall Engine is closed.
